Transcript | 20 rate and individual travel accounts. This strategy, and swift internal austerity measures, put the division in the black. MARRIOTT INN FRANCHISING profits advanced again in '75. Overall occupancy at the 12 franchised Inns improved slightly, emphasizing the demand for "Marriott-quality" accommodations in a variety of American cities. The 13th Inn, with 244 rooms, opens in Providence, Rhode Island in November, 1975. MARRIOTT CONDOMINIUM sales improved despite unfavorable national real estate investment trends. Earnings rose with most of the increase coming from initial results at The Essex Towers in New York. CAMELBACK INN at Scottsdale, Arizona near Phoenix, offering resort condominiums, sold 100 units last year. Marriott manages these luxurious accommodations when not in use by owners, maintaining the famous Inn for vacation guests and group meetings. Total units sold to date is 306. When all 407 units have been purchased, the Camelback Inn condominium program will have sold real estate valued at more than $22 million. ESSEX TOWERS, the condominium segment of New York City's prestigious Essex House Hotel, sold 8 suites—24 individual rooms—in the program's first year. Introduction of this concept came just as the recession and tight money market became critical problems, thereby affecting sales demand. However, these are high- quality, centrally-located accommodations at Central Park, and interest from both corporations and individuals is picking up as the economy strengthens.
